On variational features of vortex flows

Ideal incompressible fluid is a Hamiltonian system which possesses an infinite number of integrals, the circulations of velocity over closed fluid contours. This allows one to split all the degrees of freedom into the driving ones and the “slave” ones, the latter to be determined by the integrals of motions. The “slave” degrees of freedom correspond to “potential part” of motion, which is driven by vorticity. Elimination of the “slave” degrees of freedom from equations of ideal incompressible fluid yields a closed system of equations for dynamics of vortex lines. This system is also Hamiltonian. The variational principle for this system was found recently (Berdichevsky in Thermodynamics of chaos and order, Addison-Wesly-Longman, Reading, 1997; Kuznetsov and Ruban in JETP Lett 67, 1076–1081, 1998). It looks striking, however. In particular, the fluid motion is set to be compressible, while in the least action principle of fluid mechanics the incompressibility of motion is a built-in property. This striking feature is explained in the paper, and a link between the variational principle of vortex line dynamics and the least action principle is established. Other points made in this paper are concerned with steady motions. Two new variational principles are proposed for steady vortex flows. Their relation to Arnold’s variational principle of steady vortex motion is discussed.      

On the principle of minimal entropy production for Navier-Stokes-Fourier fluids

In this paper we discuss the principle of minimal entropy production, proposed by Prigogine [1], which affirms that the global entropy production approaches a minimum as a process becomes stationary. We point out in two particular cases that this principle produces field equations that do not agree with the equations of balance of mass, momentum and energy. The processes considered are: • heat conduction in a fluid at rest • shear flow and heat conduction in an incompressible fluid. Now is the appropriate time to review Prigogine's principle, since in recent years a new, and different principle of minimal entropy production has been proposed. This is the “minimax principle” postulated by Struchtrup & Weiss [2]. Within the context of extended thermodynamics this new principle shows great promise. Received April 1, 1999

A variational principle for fluid mechanics

Summary A variational principle for fluid mechanics is derived without calling for any additional postulates in any ad hoc way. In the principle derived here, the Lagrangian is essentially the sum of kinetic and heat energy transferred to the fluid, less the sum of its internal and potential energy, less the work done on its exterior (similar to the enthalpy concept), rather than the difference between only kinetic energy and internal energy, as obtained previously by Seliger and Whitham [1] for a more restricted mode of variation.     

混凝土输送泵车臂架系统流固耦合振动分析

针对混凝土泵车的工作原理和结构特点,结合现有输送管流固耦合理论的研究成果,提出了基础有平动位移的悬臂输送管理论模型,并通过多体运动学理论和Hamilton变分原理,建立该模型的运动微分方程.采用有限单元理论建立混凝土泵车臂架系统的流固耦合运动微分方程.选取混凝土流速U=2.265m/s和不考虑混凝土流动进行对比仿真分析后发现:两者臂架振动响应均值相同;但稳态时两者振动幅值比值最大,接近2;而改变Rayleigh阻尼系数则对臂架振动响应影响不大,这说明混凝土的流动增加臂架振动阻尼效应显著.结合Matlab仿真分析与Ansys三维有限元模型,模拟计算出了臂架结构动应力,对比测点应力测试结果与模拟计算结果,两者应力历程变化趋势相似,应力值较接近,最大差异小于20MPa,验证了仿真模型的合理性.     

Frictional passage of fluid through inhomogeneous porous system: a variational principle

A Fermat-like principle of minimum time is formulated for nonlinear steady paths of fluid flow in inhomogeneous isotropic porous media where fluid streamlines are curved by a location dependent hydraulic conductivity. The principle describes an optimal nature of nonlinear paths in steady Darcy’s flows of fluids. An expression for the total path resistance leads to a basic analytical formula for an optimal shape of a steady trajectory. In the physical space an optimal curved path ensures the maximum flux or shortest transition time of the fluid through the porous medium. A sort of “law of bending” holds for the frictional fluid flux in Lagrange coordinates. This law shows that—by minimizing the total resistance—a ray spanned between two given points takes the shape assuring that a relatively large part of it resides in the region of lower flow resistance (a ‘rarer’ region of the medium).     

Spectral element modelling and analysis of a pipeline conveying internal unsteady fluid

In this paper, a spectral element model is developed for the uniform straight pipelines conveying internal unsteady fluid. Four coupled pipe-dynamics equations are derived first by using the Hamilton's principle and the principles of fluid mechanics. The transverse displacement, the axial displacement, the fluid pressure and the fluid velocity are all considered as the dependent variables. The coupled pipe-dynamics equations are then linearized about the steady-state values of the fluid pressure and velocity. As the final step, the spectral element model represented by the exact dynamic stiffness matrix, which is often called spectral element matrix, is formulated by using the frequency-domain solutions of the linearized pipe-dynamics equations. The fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based spectral dynamic analyses are conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the present spectral element model and also to investigate the structural dynamic characteristics and the internal fluid transients of an example pipeline system.     

Fully coupled flow-induced vibration of structures under small deformation with GMRES method

Lagrangian-Eulerian formulations based on a generalized variational principle of fluid-solid coupling dynamics are established to describe flow-induced vibration of a structure under small deformation in an incompressible viscous fluid flow. The spatial discretization of the formulations is based on the multi-linear interpolating functions by using the finite element method for both the fluid and solid structures. The generalized trapezoidal rule is used to obtain apparently non-symmetric linear equations in an incremental form for the variables of the flow and vibration. The nonlinear convective term and time factors are contained in the non-symmetric coefficient matrix of the equations. The generalized minimum residual （GMRES） method is used to solve the incremental equations. A new stable algorithm of GMRES-Hughes-Newmark is developed to deal with the flow-induced vibration with dynamical fluid-structure interaction in complex geometries. Good agreement between the simulations and laboratory measurements of the pressure and blade vibration accelerations in a hydro turbine passage was obtained, indicating that the GiViRES-Hughes-Newmark algorithm presented in this paper is suitable for dealing with the flow-induced vibration of structures under small deformation.     

Nonlinear wave generation on a fluid in a moving parabolic tank

The cooperative motion of a fluid and a parabolic tank is modeled. Use is made of a discrete model based on the Hamilton–Ostrogradsky principle for an arbitrary body of revolution and a non-Cartesian parametrization of the domain occupied by the fluid. A set of coordinate functions satisfying kinematic boundary conditions and solvability conditions is set up. The discrete model is used to study the transients in the system. It is shown that the model adequately describes the nonlinear dynamic properties of the system     

Rayleigh-Taylor instability of compressible fluids in the presence of a vertical magnetic field

The influence of a vertical magnetic field on the stability of a compressible, inviscid fluid of variable density is investigated. The solution is characterized by a variational principle. Based on it an approximate solution for the fluid of exponentially varying density, confined between two planes is obtained. The magnetic field is found to have a stabilizing influence on the unstable arrangement. Also the effect of a magnetic field on the angular frequency of oscillations of the waves generated in stable arrangement is considered.     

Convection and overstability in a viscoelastic fluid layer

In this paper, a study is made of the stability of a plane layer of a simple fluid heated from below. A differential (second-order fluid) and a single integral model are applied under various boundary conditions. The conditions for which the principle of the exchange of stabilities is valid are presented for both models and selected boundary conditions. It is shown that the second-order-fluid model proposed by Dunn and Fosdick [10], without surface tension, will not exhibit overstability.     

Energy identities in water wave theory for free-surface boundary condition with higher-order derivatives

A modified form of Green's integral theorem is employed to derive the energy identity in any water wave diffraction problem in a single-layer fluid for free-surface boundary condition with higher-order derivatives. For a two-layer fluid with free-surface boundary condition involving higher-order derivatives, two forms of energy identities involving transmission and reflection coefficients for any wave diffraction problem are also derived here by the same method. Based on this modified Green's theorem, hydrodynamic relations such as the energy-conservation principle and modified Haskind-Hanaoka relation are derived for radiation and diffraction problems in a single as well as two-layer fluid.     

Stability of a Maxwell fluid in hydromagnetics

The character of equilibrium of a Maxwell fluid in the presence of a magnetic field has been investigated. It is shown that the solution is characterized by a variational principle when the direction of magnetic field is either horizontal or vertical. For both directions, an approximate solution has been developed for a fluid layer of finite depth and exponentially varying density. It is found that the stability criterion remains unaffected by the viscosity parameters, although they influence the rate at which the unstable stratification departs from the equilibrium position. The question of excitation of waves has also been considered in detail.

Existence of Global Strong Solutions to a Beam–Fluid Interaction System

We study an unsteady nonlinear fluid–structure interaction problem which is a simplified model to describe blood flow through viscoelastic arteries. We consider a Newtonian incompressible two-dimensional flow described by the Navier–Stokes equations set in an unknown domain depending on the displacement of a structure, which itself satisfies a linear viscoelastic beam equation. The fluid and the structure are fully coupled via interface conditions prescribing the continuity of the velocities at the fluid–structure interface and the action–reaction principle. We prove that strong solutions to this problem are global-in-time. We obtain, in particular that contact between the viscoelastic wall and the bottom of the fluid cavity does not occur in finite time. To our knowledge, this is the first occurrence of a no-contact result, and of the existence of strong solutions globally in time, in the frame of interactions between a viscous fluid and a deformable structure.
